Redmond, 4 miles away, has much the same number of days a year at 90°F or more (2).

Early light in June
Around the longest day the sun is up for 16 h here, so east-facing bedrooms get light very early. Full-height panels with the louvers closed keep most of it out; a mounting frame closes the gaps around the edges.
Short winter days
In December there are only 8 h 25 min of daylight here. Open the louvers fully, or swing the panels back, to let every hour of it into the room.
Bathrooms and laundry rooms
In a place with 38 inches of precipitation a year, damp rooms stay damp longer. Wood shutters suit a bathroom with a fan, kept out of shower spray; run the fan so steam doesn't sit behind closed louvers.
Room by room in Kirkland
The median home in Kirkland has 5.4 rooms, and the most common has four or more bedrooms. Most owners start with the bedrooms, then the rooms that face the street. In Redmond, 4 miles away, the figure is 4.2 rooms.
34% of workers here worked from home in the 2020–2024 survey years, more than in 98% of the 881 US cities we have figures for. A home office is often the next room shuttered. In Redmond, 4 miles away, 38% worked from home, more than here.
